Black smoke's a-rising and it surely is a train
Surely is a train boys, surely is a train
Black smoke's a-rising and it surely is a train
I'm on my long journey home
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill
Lost all my money but a two dollar bill
I'm on my long journey home

Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue
Feeling kind of blue, boys, feeling kind of blue
Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue
I'm on my long journey home

It's dark and a-raining and I've got to go home
Got to go home, boys, got to go home
It's dark and a-raining and I've got to go home
I'm on my long journey home
